Emerald Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
I'M A DUDE TO (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1106m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HEZ ALL SMILES (7) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. HELA FOREVER (3) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 14 lengths away in seventh over 1609m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. HAKA (8) is a four-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of H Belvoir. By Atta Boy Roy from Star Protocol. Top-three chance.
